Update on Core Haven:

Please know this is not an ask for a particular rating or review, only some info on what a positive impact they can have on any book on Amazon & elsewhere.

Today (8-21-25) somebody gave Core Haven a rating of 4 stars with no review (no problem). That dropped the star rating from 4.4 to 4.3, but it also moved my book to the Top 10 in each of its three categories for New Releases.

For example, in the first category, Survival Stories ebooks, it went up seven spots from #9 to #2 in New Releases.

One rating. You should see what a rating & a review do together.

The overall ranking in that category (as in, all the books in that category including the heavyweights) went up 54 spots from #208 to #154.

The Amazon algorithm now gives Core Haven more exposure & more chances to show up in strategic locations like this on the same category’s Best Sellers page:

If you have any questions or concerns about this side of my world or about the book itself, feel free to give me a call. I love talking about this stuff with my “street team.”

Thanks for all your support!

P.S. Also, if you want to geek out on more data, here’s a link to a non-published page on my website with more numbers for other categories & such.
